Long Morning

I waited 3 hours this morning to register Padyn for Kindergarden for next year.

Three hours.

And we might be moving this summer. So I may have to do it all again.

How insane is that?

Sometimes this over-achieving parenting thing drives me insane. Not my own parenting mind you...it's the over-achievement of others that forces me to over-achieve just so we can be average. It's kindergarden, people! Not an ivy league university.

Does that make any sense?

Anyway, three hours-1 1/2 in line outside, in the bitter cold, and 1 1/2 in a room, sitting on the floor, waiting for my number to be called. Oh, did I mention both girls were with me?

The Main Attraction

Just a Bit About Me

What would you like to know? I'm 37, I (sort of) stay at home with my kids of whom I have three. My girls are 8 and 6 while the boy is 3. My husband brings me coffee in bed almost every morning, which just about makes him the best husband ever. Once, a long long time ago, I was an underpaid, extremely hard working elementary school teacher. Now, not only I am the teacher, but the nurse, janitor, secretary, principal and lunch lady. I'm just trying to figure out how to be a good mom, model the love of Jesus, and keep my house clean. I'll take all the help I can get.
